Study all this, and start over!
C is wrong. senator is suppose to be capitalized.
D is wrong. world war ii should be capitalized.
A is wrong. President is not suppose to be capitalized unless it is preceded by a name. ex. President Obama
B is correct. the North should be capitlize as it is referring to a particualr region/place. The only time you wouldn't capitalize north if it refers to compass direction ex. turn north onto Grand Avenue.
To determine which sentence correctly follows the rules of capitalization, let's analyze each option:
a. "The President of the company made a speech today": This sentence is correct because it capitalizes the word "President" as it is a title.
b. "I would love to spend my summers in the North": This sentence is also correct since it capitalizes the word "North" as it is a proper noun referring to a specific geographical region.
c. "He met with senator John Brown from Kansas": This sentence is incorrect because it fails to capitalize the word "senator." In this case, "senator" should be capitalized as it is being used as a title before the name "John Brown."
d. "My Grandfather told me stories about world war ii": This sentence is incorrect because it does not capitalize both parts of the proper noun "World War II." The correct capitalization for this should be "World War II."
Based on this analysis, options a. and b. are both correctly capitalized. Therefore, the correct sentence is either a. or b.
Considering that you have excluded options c. and d., the correct choice among the remaining options is indeed b. "I would love to spend my summers in the North."
